Friends, Here on the west coast was the first day I had to scrape frost from my windshield - winter is definitely on the way! Don't let the cold weather put a damper on your business. This issue of the newsletter gives you ideas, tools and links that will "heat things up" for your biz! First, though I want to thank the wonderful Yukon folks who made me feel welcome in Whitehorse last week as I shared Guerrilla Marketing techniques at the YukonIT conference. This so called "isolated" part of the planet, actually has a 98% penetration rate for high-speed Internet. The tech industry is definitely in high gear. I also had a fantastic time at Canada's West Coast Women's show, where I spoke about "Thinking Without Boundaries". I really appreciate everyone who shared their positive comments with me after the event. One of the most important reasons I love speaking is meeting new people and sharing stories! My speaking wardrobe is provided by Canadian designer Linda Lundstrom, and my jewelery is provided by Serendipity.
Now, onto business..... If you follow celebrity news you may know the tag line "Body by Jake" - well Jake Steinfeld has launched a new business book, called "I've Seen a Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing on You". To celebrate the launch he is launching a contest called "Live Your Dream" and if you have an idea for a new business you can enter (contest open to U.S. and Canadian residents). Finalists win a trip to NY City to meet Jake and prove to him that you are the next street smart entrepreneur. The Grand Prize winner receives a $200,000 prize, a $50,000 Marquis Jet Card and a trip to participate in the American Management Assn's "Course for Presidents and CEO's". You can enter HERE!

By Wendy McClelland 2004 © So you're going to have a booth at a trade show. How exciting - or how terrifying - depending on your state of mind. First of all - remain calm - you're not the first person to do this. There's some easy to follow tips that will ensure success at the show, and give you follow up business too. Preparation ahead of time is important. Gather all the supplies you'll need. Brochures, business cards, product samples, entry forms for a draw, professional signs and any audio visual equipment you'll need. Be sure to ask for electricity well in advance if you will need it - AND be sure to get an internet connection if you need that as well. Also, make sure none of your marketing literature leaves your booth without contact information on it - people MUST know how to get in touch with you after the show.
